Arteaga said he suggested the two leave the party so they could go back to his apartment to discuss their argument.
“The argument kept on going, and she told me she didn’t want to sleep at my apartment,” he said. “So I ended up taking her back to her place, and that is the last time I ever saw her.”


Rick Salinas, Adrienne’s father, said Adrienne is an intelligent, responsible and motivated young woman who loves watching movies and reading.
Before her disappearance, Adrienne had been recovering from two major surgeries after having valley fever.
“She is like a little flower, very feminine and frail,” Rick said. “She is my baby, and she doesn’t deserve this. She is a good, good girl.”

“I know she is in heaven and she is at peace,’’ Rick Salinas said. “Right now we are in deep grief and mourning. It is indescribable pain.’’
Rick Salinas said he received a telephone call from police Thursday afternoon notifying him that the remains found in the wash by a property owner on Aug. 6 are that of his beloved daughter, Adrienne Salinas, a Gateway Community College student.

More than 100 officers combed the sparse desert in Apache Junction, near Tempe, where the body was discovered by a property owner on August 6.

Because the remains were so decomposed, authorities have only confirmed they believe it could be college student Adrienne Salinas today.
